It depends on how active the local Fil-Chi are.

Almost all Fil-Chi Volunteers are under the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chamber of Commerce. They get some or most of their funding from the Federation.

Volunteers always get to the scene way ahead of the BFP. Kaya yung local BFP namin naki usap sa amin to wait for their call nalang kasi nahihiya na sila lagi na unahan namin.

Mas inisip pa ng BFP yung kahihiyan nila kesa sa nasusunugan.

Sino andun nung nasunog ang QC HALL? I was.

Yung sa apat na nasaktan three were FIRE VOLUNTEERS. The fourth was a staff of the Vice Mayor (Herbert Bautista).

Fact is they were helpful. But they were also disorganized when they arrived (nag kaka bangaan, nalilito kung saan etc.). Hayun 3 of them got hurt. Sabi tutal volunteers kaya ok lang. E kung na critical sila?

When the BFD arrived they worked on the extention areas which the volunteers hit last with water. The early arrivals (the in-house fire truck and the fire volunteers) worked on the burning annex building first. So ayun lumakad apoy patungo sa main building.

The late commers (the BFD firetucks focused on the connecting floors to the main building) stopped the spread to the main building. They saved the main city hall.

Before you guys bashed the BFD (to which I am not affiliated with and have a lot of issues with them but thats another story) try knowing beyond the press release.

Kasi iniligtas nila QC HALL at Legislative wing. Be fair.
(I also did not put "Chinese" because it sounds racial. Basta volunteers who seemed so untrained and unorganized)

How long did it took the first BFP fire truck to arrive after the Volunteers?

If not for the fast response of the Volunteers, what would have happened to the City Hall and its annex?
